― Anna Soubry

― Anna Soubry

― Anna Soubry
“Hate is awful.”
― Anna Soubry

― Anna Soubry
“We should absolutely train up U.K. workers – but it takes time to do that. And the reality is that there are a lot of E.U. workers that come here to do jobs that British-born workers will not do.”
― Anna Soubry
“I think it’s ridiculous and appalling that people have to go abroad to end their life instead of being able to end their life at home.”

― Anna Soubry
